This log file starts with:

   -- Journal begins at Fri 2021-08-20 19:37:51 -05, ends at Wed 2021-08-25
   15:31:11 -05. -- [...]

That's not really helpfull since it shows logs emitted after the mount units
were masked.

Can you show the relevant parts of the journal instead (anything that happened
around Aug 25 11:44) ?

Nothing interesting here meaning probably that PID1 was requested to mask the
units.

This one shows that a `zypper dup` was (manually) issued less than 2 minutes
before:

   2021-08-25 11:42:43|command|root@venus|'zypper' 'dup'

A small set of packages was updated.

The last thing that happened right before the creation of the masks is the
recreation of the initrd which was triggered by the update of btrfsprogs
package:

   # 2021-08-25 11:43:37 Output of btrfsprogs-5.13.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm %posttrans
script:

Dunno, maybe try to recreate your initrd manually with `mkinitrd` and see if
it's the culprit ?

Or try to reinstall the packages that were updated with `zypper dup`.
